Definition

Multiview stereo (MVS) refers to the task of reconstructing the 3D shape of the scene from multiple color or intensity images captured from different viewpoints such that the field of view of the associated cameras overlaps. Typically, the cameras are assumed to be fully calibrated. Various choices of 3D shape representations are possible for the estimated 3D scene reconstruction. For example, dense 3D point cloud or surface mesh representations are common in applications that synthesize a new photorealistic image of the scene using computer graphic rendering techniques. The topics of multiview stereo and multi-baseline stereo matching share key concepts related to the recovery of dense 2D pixel correspondences in multiple images.
